GOD'S WORD Translation GW
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
1
The LORD said to Moses,
2 "Command the children of Israel, and say unto them: `When ye come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the borders thereof),
2
"Give the Israelites these instructions. When you enter Canaan, the land that will be given to you as your inheritance has these borders:
3 then your south quarter shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along by the border of Edom; and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the Salt Sea eastward.
3
"The southern side includes part of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. In the east the southern border starts from the end of the Dead Sea
4 And your border shall turn from the south to the Ascent of Akrabbim and pass on to Zin; and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar and pass on to Azmon.
4
and turns south of the Akrabbim Pass. It then goes past Zin and ends at Kadesh Barnea. From there it goes to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon.
5 And the border shall pass around from Azmon unto the River of Egypt, and the limits of it shall be at the Sea.
5
From Azmon it turns toward the River of Egypt so that the border ends at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 "`And as for the western border, ye shall even have the Great Sea for a border. This shall be your west border.
6
"The western border is the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.
7 "`And this shall be your north border: from the Great Sea ye shall designate for you Mount Hor;
7
"The northern border extends from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor,
8 from Mount Hor ye shall designate your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the limits of the border shall be to Zedad;
8
and from Mount Hor to the border of Hamath so that it ends at Zedad.
9 and the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the limits of it shall be at Hazarenan. This shall be your north border.
9
From there the border goes to Ziphron and ends at Hazar Enan.
10 "`And ye shall designate your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham;
10
"The eastern border extends from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend and shall reach unto the side of the Sea of Chinnereth eastward;
11
From Shepham the border goes down to Riblah, east of Ain, and continues along the eastern slope of the Sea of Galilee.
12 and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the limits of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land with the borders thereof round about.'"
12
Then the border goes along the Jordan River so that it ends at the Dead Sea. "This will be your land and the borders around it."
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, "This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes and to the halftribe.
13
Moses commanded the Israelites, "This is the land you will divide by drawing lots. The LORD has commanded that this land will be given to the nine-and-a-half tribes.
14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.
14
The households from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received their land.
15 The two tribes and the halftribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising."
15
Those two-and-a-half tribes received land east of the Jordan River across from Jericho."
16 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
16
The LORD said to Moses,
17 "These are the names of the men who shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
17
"These are the names of the men who will divide the land for you: the priest Eleazar and Joshua, son of Nun.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe to divide the land by inheritance.
18
You must also take one leader from each tribe to divide the land.
